Is Monstera hydroponically cultivated or soil cultivated?

1. Hydroponics or Soil Culture

For Monstera, both hydroponics and soil cultivation are possible. Both maintenance methods can allow the plant to survive, and each has its own advantages and disadvantages. Soil cultivation can provide sufficient nutrients, grow faster, and make the plants grow more solidly. However, it occupies a larger space indoors, is relatively troublesome to manage, and is prone to diseases and pests. Hydroponics is relatively clean, simple, and more beautiful. Small fish can also be raised in the water at the same time. However, nutrients are very limited and can only be drawn from the water. If the water is not changed for a long time, it may cause root rot and frostbite in winter.

2. Precautions

1. Soil cultivation: If you choose soil cultivation, you need to change the pot and soil regularly. Change the pot and soil once every spring to ensure that the plant has sufficient nutrition. Also pay attention to water replenishment, and do not apply too much water at one time to prevent root rot.

2. Hydroponics: For hydroponics, the water needs to be replaced regularly, especially in the summer, when bacteria can easily breed and cause root problems. You can add a little nutrient solution when changing the water to provide sufficient nutrients.
